The event showcased the next generation in low and mid tier processers. The Snapdragon 450 is the successor to the Snapdragon 435 and has some great features that will benefit the lower end devices this processor tends to be used in.
The improvements include a 14nm FinFET manufacturing process and contribute to what Qualcomm says is a 25 percent improvement in CPU performance over the previous model. In addition to this, the included Adreno 506 GPU improves graphical performance.
Qualcomm also says that it has made big improvements in the power management and sees an additional 4 hours of battery life under normal use, with a 30 percent reduction in power consumption during gaming.
